congrats quinns

im in the lead in most of my matches.

versus hatschy (turn 180+ ?), he just exceeded me in the power graph for the first time since a while, tendency still upwards, but im quite optimistic nevertheless.

versus birdman (turn 25 or so) its too early to tell, though i did have some starting problems...

taladas (turn 60+ ?) seems a little busy with other things. we didnt do a turn in a while.

with geoffrey (turn 50+ ?) im only playing a fun match, as well as with becky (212 !!) whom you dont know probably (that coward didnt want to play a challenge match )

oh with shaved ape (80+) im looking good too, though bloodlust on will still make for an interesting game.

did i forget anyone ?

i would think the standard settings are taking all of the fun out of the game.
luckily they are no must.

I do not agree. Both scenarios have its advantages and disadvantages.

What I have noticed is:

If you use wonders (and no ruins) and "one" gets the lead by building one of "The really great wonders", the the other part HAS to have the possibility of being lucky. Else you could just as well end the game at this early stage.

The standard settings have just changed

Else....

Mathemagician,
It depends how you define "fun". I think it is more "fun" to make the game even, rather than to count on luck. But luck is "fun" to some, like in the casino I guess. I guess it just depends on the person. Anyway --- no wonders, no ruins --- standard. Change it if you like!

WHAT??? Afraid to play a challenge match??? It's just a game folks...

Thanks for the updates, Mathemagician ... Looks like you have a very full plate! I just have the one match with Paulno1 right now (turn 46), and I'm starting yet ANOTHER challenge match with Birdman!! (This will make the third match with him...)

FIEL GLUCK ZU ALLES!! (was that the right grammar Maths?)

Challenge Match 24 started. quinns vs. TheBirdMan -- dual-duel format.

unfortunately not at all, quinns.
it should have been "Viel Glueck fuer Alles".

"ue" is of course the german 'u' umlaut 'ü'
i wasnt sure if your computer could show it.

still, the idea is appreciated

[quinns]

oops... shows how little i know...

.....

In this game both ruins and wonders are allowed. We are also playing against 6 AIs.

Ohh, and against the babarians - I released 3 of those red ones 15 minutes ago - poor little warrior of mine .
